How many seconds/minutes of 3D footage per gigabyte of flash card memory? How much flash memory do you need for, say 20 minutes of video (3D or non 3D)?

It depends on the quality setting of the video. At the highest quality settings you'll get about an hour per 8GB. At the lowest quality setting (still viewable HD) you'll get about 3.5 hours per 8GB. You can buy 16GB cards (look for class 6 or 10) for about $20-25. It's more expensive than DV was (I shot DV for years), but you can carry the equivalent of about 120 hours of recording time (using 32 GB cards) in less space & weight than a single DV tape was.

None, you need an SD card, and however big your SD card is is the amount of video.

That depends on the size of SD card you get. I use a 32gb SD card and I get about 4 hours of 1080 video. As far as for the erasing of the memory card, you'll have to do that yourself.

Hi Robert,With a 32GB card you should have no probem with memory size, unless you set the camera for a picturte every 5 seconds. Regarding batteries I believe 2 weeks is close to the limit. Again it will depend on the settings. I think this is a cost effective camera (I have 3), because it costs way less than some of the alternatives and does the job.

There was not flash memory with the card. You should look for a high speed flash card to make sure the video processes affectively. That is the key issue.

Not sure what the question really is. I'll assume: "What is the maximum recording time?" At the highest bitrate setting, you will chew through cards at the rate of about 27gb / hour. You also have the relay recording feature, so the two card slots in relay with 64gb cards gets you nearly 5 hours at the highest bitrate. Of course, you can always get more by trading down on the bitrate. Not sure if that was your question, though.

I have a 16GB Class 10 SDHC Memory Card in it. It will record just over three hours of video at the 720p 60 Frames Per Second Setting (3H 3M 30Seconds to be exact). You can get One Hour of non-stop recording on a single battery before it runs out of power. Buy two spare aftermarket batteries here on Amazon for about 8 bucks each, and you'll be able to record for a hour, then swap the battery out to record for hour two, and the same for hour three. When figuring out how much memory is used for recording, the 720p@60 Frames Per Second will use exactly the same amount of memory that 1080p does at 30 Frames Per Second. So recording at HD levels uses about 5.4 Gigabytes per hour. I recommend the Transcend SDHC "Class 10" 16 Gigabyte card, which is currently only Fourteen Dollars on Amazon. You MUST get at least a "CLASS 10" memory card, as you need it's fast recording speed to record HD Video. The comments below about the camera stopping after a few minutes is because they used memory that was too slow, which will cause the camera to stop after a few minutes because it can't write to the memory fast enough. With a Class 10 card, this is a non-issue. This is well documented all over the internet btw, so feel free to confirm that with a google search. :-) The Spare Batteries are $7-8 each.

The amount of data that is recorded varies tremendously. Variables affecting the total amount that can be recorded on a 32GB SDXC card are; recording resolution, frames per second, sound or no sound, GPS or no GPS. I record about 9 hours, 15 minutes at 900 HD resolution, 30 fps, with sound and GPS. The largest clip I've recorded is 173MB. At that rate, I can record 185 clips at 3 minutes per clip. After 9 hours 15 minutes of recording, the camera overwrites the oldest clip, in order.Hope this answers your question and helps.

I currently am very impressed with the camera. I have two of them and have had them almost two years. I cannot answer your question specifically regarding the 16 gig card but I can tell you that I use an 8gig card for video only with thirty second clip rates. the longest I have left them without checking them was two months and I had almost two hundred video clips of animals. I have never filled up the card. This is during rut in Wisconsin so I think a 16 gig card would last forever, as long as the camera excepted it which is what I am uncertain of. Good luck, cameras are the best I have ever had, way better than Wildgame or Cuddieback from personal experience. I currently am very impressed with the camera.

How ever many your memory card holds. It took a lot and video on a 4gb card.

In "layman's terms," how much time does 32GB provide in recordings? (hours? minutes?)
1717262
It really, really depends on compression, and there's no point in guessing because it really does vary so wildly!Some cameras used super-compressed data rates, and can hold hours of video in 16 GB!That same SD card used in, for example, an adapter for an XDCam EX camera like the Sony EX3, will hold just under an hour of 1080P video. In my opinion It's always better to have more space if you want to take video so why get 8gb if you can get 16gb.

I think you can choose to record in 1min 5 min and 10min segments. Also, you choose the quality of he video. You choose the size of your SD card. All of these parameters determine how much video time you can record. It's been a long time, but I recall that 1m takes about 40-70Mb of memory. This also depends on your lighting and camera. Better lighting and camera produce better quality video and the size of the video is larger.

It depends on the size of the SD card you put in. I use an 8 gig SD card and the highest quality video setting i.e 1080p and I have recorded over 2 hours but never checked for the maximum.
1751468
The hardware, SD card size, and particular settings will determine record time. As a quick and dirty rule of thumb for 1080p, I use 10 minutes per GB of card size. Actual mileage will vary.

This card is very useful for RAW or RAW+JPEG continuous shooting. It is overkill as far as speed for 1080P video or even continuous JPEG or any type of non continuous shooting. I would recommend the extreme model (45MB/s) for what you described.SanDisk Extreme 16GB SDHC UHS-1 Flash Memory Card Speed Up To 45MB/s, Frustration-Free Packaging- SDSDX-016G-AFFP (Label May Change) [Old Version]Use the money you save by dropping down to 45MB/s to get a 32GB card

Several limits, beside the 30 minute limit already stated:* size of card vs. size of image* duration of battery if not plugged in* Frames per second at 30 FPS = 53970 images and at 6 FPS = 10794 images
